- *
- * (02/27/2002) gkh
- *	Reworked the urb handling logic.  We have no more pool, but dynamically
- *	allocate the urb and the transfer buffer on the fly.  In testing this
- *	does not incure any measurable overhead.  This also relies on the fact

- *	either.  Thanks to Al Borchers for pointing this out.
- *
- * (12/12/2000) gkh

- * (09/11/2000) gkh
- *	Got rid of always calling kmalloc for every urb we wrote out to the
- *	device.
- *	Added visor_read_callback so we can keep track of bytes in and out for
- *	those people who like to know the speed of their device.
- *	Removed DEBUG #ifdefs with call to usb_serial_debug_data
- *
- * (09/06/2000) gkh
- *	Fixed oops in visor_exit.  Need to uncomment usb_unlink_urb call _after_
- *	the host controller drivers set urb->dev = NULL when the urb is finished.
- *
- * (08/28/2000) gkh
- *	Added locks for SMP safeness.
- *
- * (08/08/2000) gkh
